" Mr. HOBBES, of Malinesbury, thought the Accu- mulation of Details a Hindrance of Learning; and used to wish that all the Books in the World were embarked in one Ship, and that he might be per- mitted to bore a Hole in its Bottom. He was right one Sense; for the Disquisitions and Treatises with which our Libraries are filled, are often merely the Husks and Shells of Knowledge; but it would be to he wished, that, before he were permitted to bore his Hole, some literary Analysts should select all the Facts, Recipes, and Prescriptions, useful to Man, and condense them into a portable Volume."— LOCKE.

SMITH'S PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS. ' imperial parliament. HOUSE OF LORDS— MONDAY. The City of Limerick Hill was read a third time nd passed in the House of Lords.— Lords £ LDON nd REDESDALF. Aarmly opposed the measure as fjord ing a precedent for the violation of tiie char- tered rights of all other municipal corporations; they did not, however, prefcs their opposition to a division. The Irish Tithes Composition Bill was then com- mitted.— The Marquis of LANSDOVVN proposed the omission of the clause by which agistments, or {• razing lands, which were exonerated of the pay- ment of tithes by a remarkable vote of the Irish Commons in 1733, are a- gaiu subjected to the pay- ment of their share of the expenses of the Church establishment.— The En id of LIVERPOOL defended the clause, and shewed, by a reference to the Compo- si lion Bill, that the tithe of agistment could not oo to increase the income of ihe clergy, but to alleviate the burthens of the neighbouring tillage lands, which being in the hands of a much poorer class of pro. prietors than the holders of grazing lands, are much less able to pay tithes.— The Earls of BLESSINGTON and BELMORE opposed the. clause, which was sup- ported by Lord MARYBOROUGH and the Bishop of DOWNE.— The report was received without a division, and the bill ordered for a third reading to- morrow. The Earl of LIVERPOOL next moved the Irish Church Rates Bill.— Lord HOLLAND opposed it, on the ground that it went to continue the exclusion of Catholics [ from voting at vestries for the repairs of churches.— Lord CLIFDEN and Lord DARNLEY also opposed the measure, which was, however, read a third time and passed without a division. HOUSE OF LORDS— TUESDAY. The sitting of the House this evening was brief, and the proceedings almost exclusively confined to the silent passing of Bills.— The Irish Tithes Compo- sition Bill, the Distillery Bill, the East India Trade Bill, the General Turnpike Bill, and the Scots Com- missary Court Bill, were read each a third time and passed.

SIR, 80ME Time since, I was attacked with a violent Disorder in mv Face, supposed to be either the King's Evil or a Cancer. At first I thought it only a trifling Eruption, and that it would go off upon my taking a few Doses of Physic; but in this I was miserably disappointed ; for my Nights and Days became intolerable, from the disagreeable Effects of the violent ichorous Humour, which spread in an alarming Manner, and rendered my Counte- nance horridly disgusting. In this deplorable State I applied to, aud had the Advice of, several Medical Gentlemen, all of whom exerted their professional Skill to no Purpose. Finding my Complaint still increase, and the . Efforts of the Faculty ineffectual, 1 became, low spirited, and a tr. ijly melancholy and disgusting Spectacle; no Sleep at Night; no Rest iu the Day ; what Medicine to try, or how to obtain Ease, I knew not. My Friends were alarmed, and began to make Inquiry among their Acquaintance for a Remedy. At length I heard of vour far- famed PLOUGHMAN'S DROPS, & had them most strongly recommended to me by several respectable Persons who had experienced their wonderful Effects. A Bottle was procured from Owner Yeates, of the Salt Warehouse, Jronhriilge, by taking which I found immediate Relief; au amazing Alteration took Place ; the violentltching ceased— the Humour disappeared ; 1 received the Congratulations of my Friends, and before the second Bottle was finished, I was free from either Evil or Cancer, and as well as ever I was in my Life. My Case being well kn » wn to many Persons in this Neighbourhood, who have the Com- fort of tjieir Fellow creatures at Heart, they haye requested me to send this to yon, in order to its being made public for the Benefit of those who are unfortunately labouring under similar Complaints. I, am, dear Sir, Your most obliged Servant, SARAH PENDREE. Ja??. 28,1811. Witnesses, JOHN JELF, J. WEBSTER.

ENGLISH CATHOLICS. The Speech of the Bishop of St. Davids on the Marquis of Lunsdoivne's Motion for giving the Elective Franchise to the English Ro- man Catholics. My Lords— On the subject of the Bills now before the House, it is my misfortune to differ so widely froip my Right Reverend Brother, the Bishop of Norwich, who spoke last; and 1 am so far from thinking it illiberal or uncharitable to oppose any further encroachments of the Church of Rome upon the Church of England ; or to think and speak of that foreign Church in the language of our own Church Articles and Homilies; that I cannot sup- press my reasons for the vote that I shall give this night against admitting Roman Catholics to offices of trust and profit, and to the Elective Franchise. My Lords- the oath and declaration, which it is the object of these Bills to repeal, were intended to exclude Roman Catholics from offices of trust and profit, because the principles of their Church were held to be inconsistent with the safety and tranquil- lily of the State. My Lords, those principles are precisely the same now, as they were at the enact, ment of the oath and declaration ; it is the boast, of that Church that they are so. Persons, therefore, professing those principles are as inadmissible to offices of trust- and profit now as they were formerly. They are inadmissible to those offices, because they are incapable of the allegiance which is due from subjects to their Sovereioju My Lords, tbey are incapable of that allegiance, because they are bound by a contrary allegiance to a foreign Sovereign. Mv Lords— The oath, which one of these bills proposes as a security for a Roman Catholic's allegi- ance, is perfectly nugatory, because it is superseded and nullified by the solemn declaration of true obedience to the Pope, which he has already made, or which is iipplied in his submission to the Pope's supremacy - that supremacy which they hold to be superior to the sovereignty of the realm. My Lords, the Romish Clergy ( says Blackstone in his Chapter of Treasons), " when t hey take orders, renounce their allegiance to their temporal Sovereign, that being inconsistent with their engagements of canonical obedience to the Pope." By those engagements they are hound to oppose, to execrate, and, as far as in them lies, to extirpate every thing heretical, that Jr., every thing which is contrary to the religion of the Church of Rome. My Lords, this principle of extirpation is not a dormant and obsolete principle. It is at this moment ( in Ireland) in full and active operation. We have been told very lately, on the best authority, that the leaders of the sanguinary bands which infest that country declare, boldly " and candidly, that their object is t<> drive the heretics out of the country, and to take their property.— My Lords, the most, effectual ly lo tranquillize Ireland is, not to encourage Popery, but tostrengthen the hands of Protestantism, and at the same time to afford that protection to converted Priests which was granted to them for- merly, which is absolutely necessary to the free exercise of their will ; and without which they are in danger of assassination in one country, or of destitution in the other. It is indeed to be hoped hat another Session of Parliament will not be. suifered to pass without reviving that humane and beneficial Act, which expired on the 24th of June, 1800, by which a provision was made for the subsist- ence of destitute Clergymen, who had renounced the errors of the Church of Rome, and were conformed to the Church of England. 1 object then, My Lords, to the admission of Roman Catholics to offices of trust and profii, because the principles of their Church are contrary tp the allegiance which is due from subjects to their Sovereign, and inconsistent wilh tli^ safety and uquiility of the Slate. The grant of the Elective Franchise would be attended with still greater inconveijiencies and mischiefs. My Lords, I need not remind your Lordships that Parliament is con- vened by the writ of summons expressly for the defence of the Kingdom and of the Church ; not of the lyingdom only, but </ f the Kingdom and the Church. A representative of a Roman Catholic district, if true to his constituents, must, instead of defending the Church of England, be the advocate of measures most adverse to the King's prerogative, and most hostile Jo the Protestant Religion" The Elective Franchise has been very injurious to | be peace of Ireland, and productive of many ill conse- quences, especially by the subdivision of property, which it has led to. Ii could not, indeed, do so much mischief at present iu England, on account of the comparative paucity of Roman Catholics here. But the grant of this important privilege would add greatly to their numbers, activity, and influence. And why should we, in defiance of the Constitution, and of experience, put the tranquillity of England to such a hazard, and expose it, in any degree, to the degrading and . demoralising consequences which have resulted from this fatal boon in Ireland ? My Lords, for these several reasons I shall yive my vote against both the Bills now before the House. THE COINAGE. No alteration has been made io the standard of our !* old coinage since ihe reign of Iving William III.; and it is taken with the greatest confidence all over the world ; in consequence, the greatest care and attention is observed to keep it strictly so. It consists of eleven ounces to the pound of pure gold, and the alloy is made up of silver and copper, as it would not work without. Specimens of each coinage are kept iu a small chapel in West- minster Abbey, as well as the Mint, in what i^ called the Pix Chest, under several locks and keys. The quantity of gold imported into his Majesty's mint, and gold coined from January 1, 1822, to Jan. 1, 1823, according to the official return, ap- pears to have been as follows: gold imported, 94,43? lbs. 2dwt. 22gr. value £ 4,426,490. 4s. 3d.; gold coined, £ 5,337,787. 12s. fid. Total value of the new silver monies coined by Lord Maryborough, from the 1st of January to the 31st of December, 1822, is £ 31,430. 7s. ljd. HOUSE OF COMMONS— WEDNESDAY. Mr. HUME presented a Petition from J. Burridge, timber- merchant, complaining- of a change, within these few years, in the felling- of timber for the use of the Navy • formerly the timber was felled in winter, ati'd allowed to lie one year to dry before it was barked, whereas now it was felled aud barked, and then used' immediately. This in his, the Petitioner's, opinion, was the cause of the dry rot being so prevalent in our Navy.— Mr. HUSKISSON. said, the method now adopted was to bark the tree,. and then let it stand, a year before it was feiled and used. This had, he believed, with the practice of building under cover and in the dry, and the mode adopted to dry and air the shi'f. s, ope rated'to pre- vent the dry- rot spreading, and that, in, fact, that destructive evil amongst our nav. a!. force had greatly decreased of late — Ordered to lie on the table. Mr. GOI'LBURN took the opportunity of the pre- sentation of one Irish Petition to contradict, in the most explicit manner, the allegations of a Petition presented on a former day against Mr. Baron M'Clelland. The Learned Baron denied most unequivocally the truth of all. the principal aver- ments of the Petition. HOUSE OF LORDS— FRIDAY. The Royal Assent was declared to a considerable number of bills. Lord COLCHESTER moved: for a return, through the- parochial clergy of the several dioceses, of the number of Roman Catholic Chapels, schools, colleges, and religious houses or convents throughout the kingdom, in order to consider how far it was the policy of the government to give these establishments a firmer and further footing,. which would he the effect of the bill intended to . hein.- t. rod need into the loifcer house for the end w'ment of institutions for charitable purposes by Catholics.—- His Lordship, however, at the request of the Earl of ROSSLYN and the LORD CHANCELLOR, withdrew his motion for the present session. LONDON— SATURDAY. Urorogattcn of Harliamtnt. Parliament was this day prorogued bv'Commis- sion, his Majesty not deeming it advisable to risk the possible consequences to his health, of going through the fatigue of the ceremony. The Com missioneis were the Lord Chancellor, the Arch- bishop of Canterbury, Lord Harrowhy, and the Earls of Liverpool and Westmorland. At two o'ciot k the House of Commons was summoned to the bar, and the Speaker soon after appeared, attended by Mr. Canning, Mr. Wynne, and several other members. After the usual pre liminaries, the Lord Chancellor proceeded to read the following Most Gracious Speech " MY LORDS, A N D G E N T L E M E isr, u We are commanded by his Majesty, in releasing you from your attendance in Parliament, to express to you his Majesty's acknowledgments for the zeal and assiduity wherewith you have applied your- selves to the several objects which his Majesty- recommended to your attention at the opening of the Session. " His Majesty entertains a confident expectation, that the provisions of internal regulation which you have adopted towards Ireland will, when carried into effect, tend to remove some of the evils which, have so long afflicted that part: of the TJnjted Kingdom. u We are commanded to assure you-, that you may depend upon the firm and temperate exercise of those powers which you have entrusted to his Majesty, for the suppression of violence and out- rage in that country, and for the protection of the lives and properties of his Majesty's loyal subjects " It is with the greatest satisfaction that his Majesty is enabled to contemplate the flourishing- condition of all branches of our commerce and manufactures, and the gradual abatement of those difficulties under which the agricultural interest has so long and so severely suffered. 44 GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, " We have, it in command from his Majesty to thank you for the supplies which you have granted for the service of theyeaiyand to assure you that, he has derived the sincerest pleasure from the relief which you have been enabled to afford to his people by alarge reduction of taxes. " MY LORDS, AND GENTLEMEN, " His Majesty has commanded us to inform you, that he continues to receive from all foreign powers the strongest assurances of their friendly disposition towards this country. " Deeply as his Majesty still regrets the failure of his earnest endeavours to preveut tlie interrup. tion of the peace of Europe, it affords him th greatest consolation that the principles upon which he hak acted, and the policy which he has determin. ed to pursue, have been marked with your warm and cordial concurrence, as consonant, with the interests, and satisfactory to the feelings of his people." Having finished, the Lord Chancellor declared both Houses prorogued until Tuesday, tiie 13th of September. A Calcutta newspaper states^ that during ( he last festival of Juggernaut, there were so few pil- grims present, that they were unable to drag the The Brahmins called in other aid, but no devotee could be persuaded to sacrifice himself to the idol. They now talk of removing the Rath to a more central situation. Jamaica Papers of 31st May, describe the ex- ecution of twenty pirates at Gallows Point, near Poit Royal, on the 22d and 23d of that month. They were all Spaniards, and Roman Catholics; and never were witnessed more ardently religious it ions than those evinced by the w hole of the culprits on this awful occasion.

A Spanish mail, with letters from Madrid, Se- ville, and Cadiz, the latter to the 28th ult. arrived on Thursday through France. They state that Bordcsoult's division of the French army before Cadiz, and that the blockade of the place would be completed by the 1st or 2d instant. The command of the troops in that city is entrusted to General Zayas, who had quarrelled with one of the Regency, and threatened to leave the plaee; the difference was, however, adjusted, and Zayas remained at his post.— This want of cordiality be- tween so distinguished an officer and the Govern- ment had produced much despondency respecting the result of the struggle. Even Members of the Cortes appear to partake strongly of that feeling They do not scruple to express an anxiety to make terms with the French, the most favourable that may yet be possible for the Constitutional cause. According to the Corunna papers which have been received to the 13th inst. General Morillo remained at Lugo with the part of his troops \ Vho adhere to him; the remainder have put themselves under the command of General Qniroga, who is faithful to the Constitution. French papers of Thnrsdav, which have reached by express, afford no intelligence of importance, aud communicate but a very slight variation of the French funds.— The private letters state that Morillo and Saarsfield have openly gone over to the French with 3000 men, and that Cardona has sur- rendered. { We should not feel justified in inserting the letter of ' C AN OBSERVER," unless we are entrusted with the writer's real signature.

On the night of Tuesday last, as a servant boy belonging to A. W. Corbet, Esq. of Sandford Hall, near Hawkstone, was going upon an errand through Ihe shrubbery, he was laid hold of by two men, who had halters, & c. ( most probably for the purpose of hoise- stealing),— The boy immediately cried out, upon which the ruffians threatened if lie made any more noise to throw him into the pool.— ( lis tries had, however, been heard by the coachman anil another of Mr. Corbel's servants, who immediately ran towards the spot ; on which the men took to their heels. The coachman, however, overtook and collared the one, but his companion, before the coachman's fellow- servant could come up, turned back to his. assistance, got the coachman down, knelt upon and endeavoured to throttle him, but on the other servant coming up, the two ruffians took off again, aud, we regret to say, escaped.— Had the servants in the first instance taken the house dog with them, they would, we understand, have had no difficulty, as. the dog, a thorough- bred English bull dog, would have saved them any trouble.

Evelvn Denison, Esq. of Ossington, in the county of Nottingham, issued on Tuesday last addresses to the burgesses, intimating their in- tention of canvassing the town after the funeral of the late Member had taken place. On Thursday the latter Gentleman made a public entrance into Newcastle, and was in due form proposed as a fit and proper person ; but Mr. Brown, contrary to expectation, did not make his appearance; be, however, on Friday circulated an address, stating that from a combination of parties anil circum- stances, his friends had requested him to decline, and that he had taken their advice as far as re- garded tho present election.— R. E. Heatlicote, Esq. of Longton- hall, who was also expected to offer himself, but had subsequently declined, made his appearance in Newcastle on the evening of Friday, accompanied by a great number of his friends, and was likewise proposed as a candidate. OXFORD CIRCUIT. WORCESTER ASSIZES finished at one o'clock on Thursday. Among ilie prisoners, John Guest was capitally convicted for stealing one wether lamb, at Yardley. After Ihe verdict, Mr. Justice Park said, " Prisoner, 1 do not see how the Jury upon such clear evidence could have returned any other verdict, and I find Hint von have hern capitally convicted and received sentence of death within the last 18 months. You appeal* to me a fit object for public example, but I will not now pass sentence of death upon you; I will consider till Ihe morning. I shall therefore say nothing more lo you at the present time, except that I am fearful you must suffer the sentence of the law."— Transported for life. John Tut/ lor, Edward Perkes, Mark Palchetl, and PhoebeKendrick, ( a dangerous gang of robbers,) were tried for breaking inlo the malt- house of C.

Eliz. Gibbons, tried for the wilful murder of her illegitimate child, at Kidderminster, by throwing il into the River Stour, was acquitted of the principal charge, but sentenced lo six mouths imprisonment for concealing Ihe birth.— The Judge said if the Jury had found her guilty, no one who had heard ihe evidence could have objected to ihe verdict, and in that case he should have left her for execution. He admonished her upon her future conduct, and she was taken from the dock. At these Assizes, also, Thomas Miller and Jonas Jefferies, for sheep- stealing ; Joseph Long, for steal in'g linen from a drying- yard ; and Thomas JaunCey, Thomas Everill, and Joseph Overton, ( who under llie ludicrous denomination of Lambs, had long heen a terror lo the inhabitants of Worcester,} for a street robbery, were each recorded Death.

At Stafford there were only 15 prisoners for trial.— The Grand Jury found a bill of indictment against Benjamin Adams, who has been lately very assiduous iu endeavouring to entice the workmen belonging to the iron works in the neighbourhood of Birmingham to go to France — True Bills were also returned against Richard Stafford Cooke, who claims the Barony of Stafford ; J. S. S. Cooke, his brother, and others, for a conspiracy to disquiet Sir George Jerninghain, iu the possession of his estates, to cut down his timber, to obtain money from and oppress his tenants, & e.

The main fact in this correspondence, is, that his Majesty's Government had declined to receive the communi. cation made to il by the newly installed Regency at Madrid. Mr. Secretary Canning had but one reply to make, that his Majesty, " having a Minis- ter resident near the person of his Catholic Majesty, could not receive a communication," of the kind forwarded by Don Victor Saez. The letter, there- fore, intended for his Majesty, was returned un- opened. On Tuesday the King gave his annual ball and supper to the juvenile branches of the nobility and gentry. The youthful visitors, accompanied bv their parents and friends, began to arrive soon after eight o'clock. Dancing commenced about nine, and at twelve they supped. His Majesty intermixed with the children, in the most con descending manner, during the whole of the even ing. After supper the young people were sent to their respective homes. The merry dance was then commenced by the parents and others, which they continued till near three o'clock. About 300 per sons were present. On Wednesday the King held a Court, which was attended by the Dukes of York and Cumber- land, Prince Leopold, the Ministers, Officers of State, & c. His Majesty afterwards held a Privy Council, at which the speech for closing Parlia inent was agreed upon— A chapter of the Order of the Garter was likewise held, at which the Mar- quis of Bath was elected a member and duly in- stalled.

These Races commenced on Wednesday last, and, in anticipation of them, the town for two or three days before, assumed a very bustling ap- pearance. Even the ominous countenance of S'(. Swithin, on Tuesday, could not throw a damp upon the ardour of the lovers of sport; and the lowering aspect of Wednesday morning did not deter them from proceeding to the summit of Cleeve Hill in crowds. A great variety of gay equipages, filled with elegantly dressed fashionables, graced the Course. The first run was for the Cheltenham St. Leger Stakes of ? 5gs. each, for three- year old colts and fillies, which were won by Mr. West's bl. c. Volumer, beating Major Gore's ch. c. Achmet, and Mr. Jones's b. f. Caroline. This race was well contested between the two former, and won by half a length. Soon after this race, one of the threaten- ing clouds which had been observed traversing in different directions, approached, and burst with tremendous fury over the Course. The rain, which was remarkably heavy & of very long continuance, was followed hy a very severe hail- storm, ac- companied by a loud clap of thunder. The several booths and stands were instantly filled by those seeking shelter; but there were many hundreds whose sole covering was derived from the partial aid of an umbrella, and many more, who, destitute of even this small protection, were compelled to abide " the pelting of the pitiless storm." At length the rain abated, and had quite ceased by the time preparations were made for the great attraction of the day. This was the race for the Gloucestershire Stakes of 25gs. each, 15ft. and only 5, if declared, & c. to which there were 56 subscribers. Eleven horses started for these stakes, which were won in beautiful style by Mr. West's Angelica, beating Mr. W. II. Beach's Atlas, Sir T. Stanley's Tarragon, Mr. Griffiths's Broxash, Mr. Edwards's Habberley, and six others ; but the four first named were the only ones placed by the judge. This was a capital race, and by its event the knowing ones were completely taken in the th ree favourites being Atlas, against whom the odds were only 5 to 4, and Tarragon, and Hay Burton, against eaeb of whom 4 to 1 was repeatedly offered and taken ; and these three were backed at 7 to 4 against the field. The contest lay between Angelica and Alias ; and, after a most gallant push hy the latter, the former won by less than half a head.— The Sweepstakes of 5 sovereigns each, with 25 added, did not fill. THURSDAY.— The terrible weather of yesterday, had evidently an unfavourable influence, as the Course was not by any means so numerously at- tended. The sweepstakes of 15gs. each for two- year olds, was won by Mr. Day's Helenus, beating Major Gore's Pheasant, and Mr. West's br. c. by | Cressy.— The Town Plate of 50 Sovereigns, not being filled, no race took place.— The Hunters" Sweepstakes of 15gs. each, 5 forfeit, to be rode by Gentlemen, eleven subscribers, was won by Mr. Iilbot's ch. g\ Deputy, beating Mr. F. Wynniatt's Alpha, and Mr. T. Lovesy's Why Not. The last horse bolted, otherwise he was the decided favourite for these Slakes, and was backed at 5 to I. FRIDAY.— There was much more company on the ground this day, and the sport was more interesting than yesterday. The Sweepstakes of 200gs. each, half forfeit, for three year olds, was walked over for by Mr. Kueller's ' Volumer.— The Cheltenham Gold Cup value lOOgs. with a subscription of 20gs. each, half forfeit, was won in fine style byMr. West's Angelica, beating Mr. Browne's Ontario, Mr. Talbot's Champion, Mr. Mytton's Euphrates, Lord Sherborne's Brilliant, and Mr. Willis's br. c. by Haphazard. This race occasioned another dis appointment to the knowing ones, Euphrates bein_ the first favourite of the day.— The Forced Handicap Sweepstakes, of 10 sovereigns each, with 25 added from the Fund, was won easy at two heats by Mr West's sharper, beating Major Gore's Cuyp. Upon the whole, the sport of the first day was the best, but the unfortunate state of the weathei took off much from the pleasure of the scene, the course being almost flooded when the horses started for the Gloucestershire Stakes, decidedly the best race of the whole ; so that when they came the animals and the riders were completely covered with dirt. At one time, the Course ex liibited the appearance of a ploughed field mon than anything else, from the quantity of heavy rain which had fallen. Sir B. W. Guise, Bart. M. P. and Major Qj msby Gore, are chosen Stewards for the next year fond we understand there are already 62 subscribers for the Gloucestershire Stakes, and 15 for the Cup. The sum of £ 1000 has also been subscribed, for tiie immediate erection of an elegant and commodious Grand Stand. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.— We have sel- dom had Ihe painful task of recording such a heart- ending scene as took place on Swansea river, about five o'clock on Sunday evening, the 13th iust. A umber of persons, who had been attending Divine worship at a Calvinistic chapel at Llansamlet, desirous of leaching home by a less circuitous route than across the regular ferry, about 30 got into a mall boat at the Foxhole, a little above the town, md had nearly reached the opposite shore, when the boat came ill contact with a vessel that was moored to the quay, contiguous lo the pipe- manufactory. This circumstance, though trivial in itself, so alarmed the women, that ihey all ushed to the same side of the boal, which was immediately upset, and the w hole of Ihe persons in it ( with the exception of two, who were fortunale enough to leap into shallow water) were pre- cipitated into the current of the river, at the time endered more rapid by a strong flood that pre- ailed. The scene that now ensued was painfully wful : men and women were seen struggling to ain the shore, and the shrieks of the latter for assistance were heart- rending in the extreme. Every exertion was made by the seamen aud others resent to save the unfortunate persons front perishing, and through their praise wort hy efforts 17 or 18 were brought on shine— but, alas ! ten of the number sunk to rise no more. The bodies of the unfortunate sufferers ( with the exception of hat of Llewellyn Thomas, a copperman, aged 24 ears) were found on the same evening and on the following day; they have since been interred by their sorrowful friends, and Ihe regret felt for their untimely fate was evinced by the large concourse of people who attended on Ibis solemn occasion. Those who perished were— William Beddoe, shoe- maker, aged 46 years ( on whom an afflicted wife was dependent for subsistence), and his grandson, George Beddoe, a child about six years old ; Richard . louts, shoemaker, aged 15; John Rogers, tailor, aged 25 ( leaving a pregnant wife and two mall children lo lament his melancholy fate); Margaret David, aged 27, Margaret Williams, aged 21, and Elizabeth Mathew, aged 15 ( first cousins), of Cwin, near Swansea ; Elizabeth John, of Chap, near Swansea, aged 2*; and Elizabeth Jones, daughter of Mr. Jones, baker, of Greenhill, Swansea, aged 24. This last- named individual was to have been married on Monday last to a young man named Owens, who, iu his attempts to save her life, had nearly shared the same fate with herself. Inquests were held on the bodies on Mon- day, by Dr. J. C. Collins, Coroner, when the rerdicts were of course the same in each instance, viz. Accidental Death. Lord Adair, at his late audits, held at Cowbridge and Bridgend, returned to his tenantry 25 per cent, on the last three years' rent, and made a most iberal reduction iu the rents of the greater part of his tenantry. ir John Aubrey, Bart, at his audit held last week at Cowbridge, returned 20 per cent, to all his tenantry, even to those who held under leases.

Amongst the crowd of supplicants for elee- | uiosynary favour assembled at Totnes. races last week, appeared a man with a slate, requesting I alms as a deaf and dumb sufferer; but though his j tongue refused to perform its office, his fingers had an itch for discovery, which led them to explore a countryman's pocket, and to take from it three shillings; the rustic seized the offender in the very act, and disapproving his method of borrowing money, escorted his customer to the river's side, and popped him in ; when, to the amusement and surprise of all who witnessed this specimen of siurmary justice, the water produced a miracle, equalled only by the redoubted Holienlohe; for Dummy soon found means to discourse most I eloquently iu the vulgar tongue. The countryman I finding such virtue in the water as to make the dumb speak, thought a few more plunges might restore the faculty of hearing, and therefore tried theexperimentagain and again, with the anticipated result; for the ears of the disciple of Bampfylde I Moore Carcw tingled so sensibly to the promises of further vengeance liberally bestowed upon him, that he made a hasty retreat out of the town. 1234 14 5| The Corporation of Shrewsbury, two Years' Payment 90 0 0 Fines .' 0 12 6 Manure sold 185 4 8 Old Lamps and other Articles sold 12 11 10| Part of Property purchased for Widening the St. eets, not want- ed, resold 490 0 0 Money borrowed by the Trustees upon Mortgage 2000 0 0 Cash advanced by the Bankers.... 139 7 2 The Bankers' Balance due to thetn last Year For Sweeping & Cleansing the Streets, Horse- keep, Carts, Stable Rent, and Rent of Manure Yards For Watching the Town, under the Direction of the Watch Committee, exclusive of Cash received for Fines by Order of the Magistrates, For Lighting the Town with Gas, addi- tional Lamps, Iron Columns, kc. kc.

STREET- ACT OFFICE, July 22d, 1823. WALES. HOLYHEAD ROAD. To the Editor of the Salopian Journal. SiR, I have read several long articles in the Chester Papers with respect to the " Road from London to Chester," and from thence to " Dublin via Holyhead or Dawpool." About twenty years ago I remember having read several papers upon the same subject, and nearly iu the same strain. But with " VIATOR" or " PROIIATUM EST" I have nothing to do. I shall merely make a few remarks upon the following paragraph, which I extract from Probation est" ' s letter in the Chester Chronicle of the ISth instant: " This ( the Chester) line of road from the Me- tropolis to Holyhead, has'paramount advantages over any other, and in the Winter Season its " superiority leaves that through Shrewsbury at " an immeasurable distance. Iu entering upon ' the line beyond Llangollen, the traveller has to " pass through a wild and desolate country, bereft " even of the comforts of a Village Inn, to cheer " him in bis miserable pilgrimage The snow, " almost every year, drifts to the depth of ten, " twelve, and even fifteen feet in the rocky passes " of this mazy wilderness— the progress of the " Coach is for a long time impeded,— and to add " to the calamities of the road, many miles pro.

On the 7th inst. at Chirk, Denbighshire, Mr. John Jones, of Pfaut, to Miss Mary Jones, of Chirk Green. DIED. Lately, at Glanllyn House, Merionethshire, in his 68th year, Griffith Richards, Esq. ( brother to the Lord Chief Baron), upwards of 40 vears agent to Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart.; a man of exemplary character and strict integrity, whose loss the worthy Baronet will find, in b'eing deprived of a faithful, honest steward, and the tenantry of an indulgent, kind friend, who will be long regretted by all who knew him. On the 10th inst. aged 47, after a protracted illness, Robert Evans Williams, Esq. of Bodweni, near Bala. On the 12th inst. at the advanced age of 102, at Tynllechwedd, iu the parish of Llandderfel, Meri- onethshire, Mrs. Elizabeth Ellis ( aunt to Mr. Ellis, the respected landlord of the Lionlnn, Bala). She enjoyed excellent health till within a few days of her death, and her intellects were perfectly sound to the last. On the lltli inst. at Newtown, Mary Anne, second daughter of the late Athelstun Hamer, Esq. of Glanhafren, Montgomeryshire. On the 1st inst. aged 71, at Wrexham, Quarter- Master Jolm Holt, late in the Ancient British Fencibles, and formerly of the 3d or King's Own Dragoons. He served his country as a regular soldier 32 years, and as Serjeant- Major in the Wrexham Yeomanry Cavalry 23 years. His re- mains were interred" with military honours. On the 13th ult. after a long and protracted illness, which she bore with christian composure and resignation, Harriet, the second daughter of Mr. Summers, late Post- Master, of Abergele, Denbighshire.— And on the 9th inst. her father, the above Mr. Summers, in whom a numerous family have to regret the loss of a kind husband, and an indulgent parent. " but what the luckless traveller is unable to " obtain even the partial consolations of fire or " food." Now I shall simply state such facts that will, I am persuaded, convince every impartial reader of the falsehood of the above statement. In the first place, Are there not comfortable Inns from Llan- gollen to Bangor? anil those within a moderate distance ? I answer, there are no less ( including public- houses) than TWENTY- SIX in this " wild and desolate country." Again, How is it that the Mail has gone as" regularly through this very " Siberian climate," and that in the " Winter,'" and in the night too, as any Mail- Coach in the Kingdom ? And I will, upon the autho ity of the official Post- Office Time Bills, say, that tl'iere has been, upon an average of ten years, less time tost by the Mail and other Coaches, and actually lei. i " impeded," by snow, through " this mazy" wil- derness," than ( for instance) from Bristol or Liver- pool to Loudon ; and it is well known that the Coaches, and particularly the Mail, have been more regular m their progress, and with equal rapidity, front Shrewsbury 10 Bangor Ferry, than from London to Shrewsbury, or on any other English road. With regard to having au Irish Mail through Chester, aud every encouragement to improve that line of road through Wales, I am a warm advocatc for it, and even for a Packet station at Dazvpool, IF the thing is practicable, and if it won! d be of vast importance cc to the commercial intercourse between all Ireland, and the towns of Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, and all the other great Manufacturing Towns of the North of Eng- land and it is on this account ( for I quote fro til- th e Parliamentary Report of the Select Committee of the Chester and Holyhead Road) that Govern- ment have been induced to make grants for its improvement. But no person, with a Map before him, can ever suppose that the road from London to Holyhead ought to be through Chester. To bring matters to the test, I will quote a passage from " The Fourth Report on Roads from London to Holyhead, 17th May, 1822," p. 65: — " The distance from London to Holyhead has " already been reduced from 2644 miles to " and it may still be further reduced 10 miles 674 " yards, making the whole distance under Two " HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES.— If that were to be " effected, the following- would be the results. In ct the first place, the journey between London and ( i Holyhead might be performed in two days, at " 125 miles each day, travelling post with a pair of horses, nnd without louino' si niodit's rpsfr and . losing'a night's " Secondly, the Mail might perform the journey < c at. 8| miles an hour, in 29 hours and 20 minutes'. " This would bring it to Holyhead at 20 minutes " past one o'clock in the morning: so that, with £ C an average passage of seven hours and a half u across the Channel, and allowing one hour for < c going from Howth to Dublin, the " English letters " would arrive in Dublin at TEN O'CLOCK on the < c second morning from London With such an authority. I dare to answer the query of " Probatum est"—" Which will reach Dublin first, a passenger from Shrewsbury via Holyhead, or one from Chester by way of Daw- pool ?" I have no doubt but nine times out of ten the former would. But the main question is, W hich mould, and START FROM LONDON? I will leave the Map and the several Parliamentary Reports to answer; and will quote from tf Mr. Johnson, the Surveyor and Superintendantof the Mail- Coaches," who informs the Committee,< c that it is not possible " to bring the Mail from Chester to Holyhead " SOONER THAN FIVE o'clock, A. AT. ;" whereas it can be brought by " one of the finest Roads in Britain" by HALF PAST ONE, and that " through an almost trackless route," and contrive to be in time, notwithstanding " the friendly breezes of the ocean" are so favourable to the melting of the snow upon the Chester Road.

FOR THE SALOPIAN JOURNAL. To the Agriculturists of Shropshire. Having seen, in the report of the last meeting of the Shropshire Agricultural Society, that it is doubtful whether this Association shall continue 01 not; I presume to lifter to the Landed 1 uteres of the c. iunty a few remarks upon the subject. There are two things upon which men seem agreed to set a high value: Some esteem one more than the other, hut few are indifferent to both. The first is Credit and Honour, and the second Interest. Now, as respects either, the Shropshire Agricultural Society ought not to be permitted lo. ihvindie away and fall to the ground for want of support. Is ii for the Credit of this extensive, populous, and opulent County, possessing so many natural and acquired advantages— containing, in conse- quence of its mineral products, so large a mauu factoring population ( ready consumers of landed produce)— that this annual meeting should he given up? We, who have the advantage of one of the greatest roads in the kingdom traversing our province from one end to the other, and daily pouring wealth and intelligence among us, ( and when those improvements, which all desire, shall take place in Ireland these advantages will be much increased,)— shall we be behind hand in the spirit of improvement, and rather retrograde than advance— when all are advancing around us? Our County has long been remarkable ( and long may it be so!) for the number of Country Gentle- men and Proprietors who dwell opon their paternal estates and reside almost continually amid their leuantry. Will they stand back, aud, forgetful of their own interest aud the credit and honour of their native County, permit this most useful meet- ing to be dissolved ? If this be so, let us talk no move of Proud Salopians : at least our pride not woitli individually two guineas per annum! Bul, on the matter of Interest— Is it not greatly for the interest of Ihe County that a ineetiu: should take place where the Landlords and Yeo- men, Proprietors and Tenantry of Ihe Country, should assemble and mingle together— bound ti each other by so many lies, and allied by so many relations, which it is for the advantage of al' parlies should be drawn closer rather than loos, cned? If there be any thing ill- judged in the form or manner of conducting the details, let it be corrected ; but no man can say that the Pre- miums offered do not encourage Agriculture. It is the honour and credit of obtaining a Prize in the sight of the assembled Agriculturists of the whole neighbourhood, Which is the strongest sti- mulus to the most enterprising and intelligent men. The discussions which take place at these meetings must tend to spread intelligence, and information, on Agricultural Subjects, to those who, by their retired habits at other times, are little likely ( without such aid and example) to reap these benefits. But, upon Ihe narrow ground of Interest, upon the mere debtor and creditor account of gain and loss, is it not important there should he some such rallying point for the Landed Interest? Their welfare may be affected by the enactment of new laws or the repeal of old ones; and it is of infinite consequence to he thus able to learn from the assembled Proprietors aud Tenants what their opinions are. The late Sir Robert Walpole used to observe, that when he was about to lay a lax or doty upon the Agriculturists, they bleated indeed a little, but came quietly like sheep to be shorn ; but if he laid his little finger on the Manufacturers, they met together, passed resolutions, put forth resolves, and presented petitions— and, in short, it was like shearing a hog, more noise than wool. It is therefore greatly for the advantage of those living widely apart, and mixing little w ith public life, that they should have some Society with whom to co- operate and advise, and who will be ready to watch over and maintain the Interests of Agri culture. A FRIEND TO THE PLOUGH. necessity of keeping our sentinels in places where they could not be discovered, and where, through holes pierced for that purpose in the garden walls, or through the hedges, they could observe the enemy's movements without unnecessary exposure. A soldier of the German Legion had been posted at the angle of a large house, w ith directions to look round the corner from time to time, but on no account to remain exposed. Unfortunately, he placed one leg beyond the angle of the building, and in a moment afterwards it was carried off by a cannon- shot. This might have been accidental ; but a second and third instance immediately fol- lowing, served to convince us it was not so. A soldier of the Light Infantry, belonging to those stationed at St. jBernard, under thecoiuiiotid of Lord Saltoun, was posted behind a breastwork dug across the road which leads from the suburbs of St. Etienne towards Boucaut, not far from the bauk of the Adour. This road was looked down upon from the citadel, and was guarded with extreme jealousy bv the enemy. The soldier was desired occasionally look over the breastwork, but always to conceal himself again as quickly as possible ; he, however, had Ihe rashness to stand boldly upright on it, and was instantaneously killed by a cannon- ball, which iterally cut him in two. " A similar instance of their accuracy in firing occurred on the 23d of February, when Colonel Maitland's brigade took shelter behind the sand hills on the borders of the marsh in front of the intrenched' camp. A drum- mer in the third battalion of the first Guards had got upon the summit of the sand- hill, but had not been there many moments befoVe a cannon. shot, fired from a battery of the intrenched camp nearest the Adour, pierced'the ground directly underneath his feet, and brought down the frightened drummer headlong amongst his comrades bel'iHv, who we're much amused on discovering that ? ie had not sus- tained the slightest injury. AI. F. GRETE.— In one of my walks here, after wandering along the rude aud pathless banks of a clear mountain stream, which now leaped, now run, now rippled, now smoothly flowed along its ever- varying bed, I arrived at a small romantic chapel, such au one as you often find in the Penin- sula, a leag'ue or more from any human habitation-. Iu the shade, near the door,' I observed a small basket, apparently filled only with the most beau- tiful flowers; I approached to take one;— when stooping, I beheld a lovely infant about a year old; it was dressed prettily and tastefully, though pale ; I thought it slept, for its paleness did not appear as of death ; it was, however, cold and lifeless, yet it had nothing of the corpse, nothing of the grave about it. I kissed its delicate lair face, anil thought, not without a sigh, on its parents. A voice startled me, aud turning, I beheld a decent looking peasant woman, with an old man, and two or three children from ten to fifteen years of age.— " Are you the mother of this babe?" said I; " Yes, Senhor." " I pity you from my heart." " How so, Senhor? To have borne and buried a Christian, without sin, I look on as a blessing, and § > 8 I praise the Holy Virgin that she has vouchsafed to take him to herself." I gazed earnestly at Ihe woman. Was this insensibility ? or was it enthusi- astic reverence for, and pious resignation to, the will of God ? I decided lor the latter; for I saw her bend over her child with an expression of coun- tenance rapturously affectionate. 1 knelt down, once more, lo read its innocent features. Yes, there was the charm: remorse, fear, and doubt, could not be traced there. All was iunocency, and purity, and truth. " Your child," said I, " my good woman, is perhaps ere now a cherubim iu heaven." " Senhor, you cannot be a heretic?" No; I am a Christian of another sect." " All you must be a Christian ; I thought so, but the priests said you English were all heretics." So much for priests and peasants. SPANISH COURAGE, AND BRITISH GENEROSITY — A friend told me an anecdote of Spanish courage which I have pleasure in recording.— In a skirmish with the enemy, on the 7th of July, he observed that a peasant, armed only with a horse- pistol, had introduced himself among his skirmishers : seeing- that the pistol could not possibly take effect, he thanked him, praised him for his courage, but advised him to go away. " Maseerca puedo mater?" ( Can I kill nearer?) said the man eager- ly. " Si," said my friend, smiling. The man immediately ran considerably iu front of the line of skirmishers, fired, returned to load again, went forward, and continued so to fight in company with our men ; escaping, I rejoice to add, unhurt. To this anecdote I may add one of British generosity of sentiment: I heard a section of our men speak- ing i « terms of great admiration of the gallantry of a French officer, who, it seems, had made himself very conspicuous in a late skirmish, in trying to bring- on his men. " I was sorry to see him drop, poor fellow," said one. " All!" said another, " lie came so close there was no missing him ; I did for him!" " Did yon?" rejoined the first speaker ; " by G— d, I could not have pulled a trigger at him. No, d n ine, I like fail- fighting and hot fighting ; but I could not single out sucli a man in cold blood." ists— the most conspicuous cornerstone in their sys- tem. We say nothing of the justice, or the humanity, or ihe wisdom of this course of procedure ; for why should revolutionary patriotism, in its bacchanalian triumph, renounce its most appropriate prerogative of trampling under foot the paltry virtues of equity, prudence, and mercy? Bul the will of the nation ought to be something in a democracy. Could, then, the universal robbery of the church, ihe constant oppression of its ministers, emanate from the national sentiments of superstitious and religions Spain ? Could these be ihe chosen employments— tlie. fa- vourite themes of a people, swayed by their clergy and attached to their faith beyond any other ill Europe? This single fact is alone an incontroverti- ble proof ( though multitudes of others might be adduced), that the government of Ihe Cortes was in no respect a national or popular government; it was merely ihe domination of caballing intriguers, and ot— wbat is ihe mosl baleful of all llie monsters that afflict civilized society— military demagogues. The Spanish constitution— bad in itself, and worse by reason of its incompatibility with the habits and feelings of the people— was rendered still more in- tolerable by Hie folly and tyranny with which it was administered. The legislation of Ihe Cortes during the last three years, exhibits a greater number of laws breathing the unmitigated wanton spirit of absolute power, and framed, as it were, for the very inrpose of chasing justice from the earth, than any qiial period ( excluding perhaps the reign of the Jacobins in Fiance) in Ihe annals of despotism. When laws are made lo consecrate injustice, acts of particular oppression must abound too; and though ihe number of those who have perished ou the seaf. fold iu the course of the Spanish Revolution is not very great, exile and imprisonment have been dealt out wilh a profuse liberality. What tales could not Ivicaaud the Canaries tell of the tender mercies of revolutionary authorities ? There is scarcely a dun- geon in Spain, which could not afford the most damning proofs, that democracy has her Inquisition not less lerritile than that of ecclesiastical bigotry. Arbitrary exile and imprisonment are doubtless less shocking to our feelings, than arbitrary executions ; tint they are more dangerous to the happiness of society, because they are more likely to be carried to an excess Man recoils from blood. The veriest tyrant will not aim Ihe deadly blow at Ihe head of his victim, unless urged by motives of mighty influ- ence : his hand is withheld by pity, by the anticipa- tions of remorse, by reverence for the sentiments of mankind. But when he consigns to a dungeon the objects of his suspicion, or transports them to a distant region, he has little cheek, either in his own feelings or in those of others: while the sufferers pine in confinement, or in hopeless separation from all thut they hold dear, the author of their misery seems to himself to have done nothing, because what he has done may be undone, and the attention of the world is scarcely attracted to their fate. It is, there- fore, to little purpose to telt us, that the Spanish constitutionalists have perpetrated few murders: tell raliier, how many hundreds and thousands they have banished or imprisoned, without even the decent ceremonial of a trial. Grand Review on Honnslow Heath. Huanuco, in Pern. The plains of Bogota, which are about 9000 feet above the surface of the ocean, are covered with sand- stone, gypsum, shell- limestone, and in some places rock- salt. Fossil shells have been found in Ihe Pyrenees at the height of 11,700 feet, but in Peru at 12,800 in one place, and at 14,120 in another, w here, they were also accompanied wilh sand- stone. The basalt of Piehincha, near the city of Quito, has an elevation of 15,500, while granite, which crowns the loftiest mountains of Europe, is not found higher than 11,500 feet in the Andes, and is scarcely known in ihe provinces either of Quito or Pern. The snow- clad summits of Cbimborazo, and the other highest peaks, consist entirely of porphyry, which there constitutes a mass of 10,000 or 12,000' feet in thickness; together with an enormous body of quartz of 9,500 feet thick. The Andes of Chili differ in their composition from the other parts of the chain ; for it is in the Cordil- lera of ibis part that vast blocks of crystal are found, capable of being formed into columns six or seven feet in length. America is, perhaps, not more remarkable for the immensity of its mountains, than for the vast elevation of its plains. The highest cultivated land n Europe seldom exceeds 2000 feet above the level of the sea, but much of the table land of America is from 6000 to 10,000 feet in altitude. In Pern ex- tensive plains are found at ilie elevation of 9000, and iu Mexico not less than 500,000 square miles is from 6000 feet to 8000 feel above the sea ; which rivals he celebrated pass of Mount Cenis or Mount St. Gothard. Almost interminable plains, too, stretch through the wide regions of South America, at a erv slight elevation above the sea. Those of Orinoco, Amazonia, and Buenos Ayres, may he men- tioned as examples. These chiefly consist of ex- tensive Savannas, varied in a few places with clumps of palms, but so extremely level that the space of 800 square leagues scarcely presents any inequality. u Such a diversity of surface gives rise to a cor- responding variety in the climate, and vegetable productions, of this Continent; and all species, from ihe palms and other majestic trees which adorn the sultry regions of the torrid zone, to the last lichen which creeps beneath the eternal snows lliat cover the summits of the Andes. In ascending from the shore to these upper ridges, Ihe plants peculiar to the different districts of the globe appear in regular succession. At an elevation of from 3000 lo 5000 feet, cassava, cacao, maize, plantains, indigo, sugar, cotton, and coffee are produced.

FIRES.— Frozley- lodge, Bucks, the beautiful chateau of P. It. Wingrove, Esq. was burnt to the ground on Sunday night. The fire was seen from a drying- room over the kitchen detached from the house, but it soon spread, and in less than an hour the premises were a heap of ruins. Providentially the inmates, eight in number, who had retired to bed5 escaped. It was elegantly furnished, besides a valuable library, and not a vestige was saved.- Another fire broke out on Sunday, at the house of Mr. Canton, Mitchell- place, Paddington, which consumed the second and third floors. It happened through the negligence of a servant setting fire to a window- curtain in putting a child to hed. On Monday evening, the 30th ult. A. Clarke, Esq. an extensive brewer in Maghera, despatched five carts laden with porter for this city.

From Recollections of the Peninsula. CAMPAIGNING. BATTLE OF VITTORIA.— 44 A paymaster of a regiment of British Infantry had two sons, lieu- tenants in the corps in which lie served ; he was a widower, and had no relations besides these youths ; they lived in his tent- were his pride and delight. The civil staff of a regiment usually remain with the baggage when the troops en gage ? and join them with it afterwards. In fthe evening, when this paymaster came up, an officer met him. 4 My " boys,' said the old man, 4 how are they ?' Have thoA, done Iheir duty? 1— 4 They have behaved most nobly; but. you have lost'—' Which of them?'— * Alas !' both ; they are numbered with the dead.' A friend of mine, belonging to another corps, lay wounded in Vittoria ; I heard of it, and hasten- ed to his billet. I found him reclining 011 a sofa, arid looking,. as I thought, remarkably well. He received me cordially and cheerfully. 41 rejoice,' said I, 4 to see you smiling; your injury is, of course, slight.'—' You are mistaken ; my wound is mortal, and mv hours, I believe, are almost num- bered. I shall never leave this room but as a corpse ; but these are events which should never take a soldier bv surprise.'— He died in two days Returning from his funeral I met a serjeant of my regiment, who had come with an escort from the division. 4 Row are they all, Serjeant,' said I. 4 We have lost Mr. .' * 4 How, in an affair ?' * No ; we had. a dreadful storm among the moun- tains, and in one of the narrowest passes himself and his horse were struck by lightning, and killed o:: the spot.' This, too, was a noble- minded zealous officer, one who had braved many a scene of peril, aud whose ambition it had ever been to perish in the field. You grow familiar on service with death and sorrow ; you do not weep— but if you have an eve to observe, and a heart to feel, few men see or suffer more than a soldier." During the blockade of the citadel of Bavonne by Sir John Hope, in 1814, occasional instances occurred, which shewed the extreme accuracy of the French Artillerymen in pointing their cannon ; and afforded the most convincing proofs of the Dodsley^ s Annual Register for 1822," just published. Our volume appears at a time, when those, who interest themselves ( and what Englishman does not terest himself r) in the fortunes of Europe, will find in it much that will assist them in their specu- lations, and tend to extricate them from some pre- valent errors. Spain, for instance, has of late en- grossed the thoughts of all; and the generality of men are surprised, that her constitutional system should be in danger of crumbling into dust beneath the touch of France, and that a nation, which strug oled with convulsive vigour for a despot against a foreign invader, should not make a single effort for the preservation of her own freedom. They do Spain foul wrong, who so think of her. She would not tamely crouch, if she had any thing for which to fight; she would boldly fa<- e tiie invader, if that invader marched against aught that she loved or reverenced. But when a country is so unfortunate, as to have to choose between two Governments, both execrably bad, and worse than that of Ferdinand and of the Cortes of Spain never existed, at least in modern Europe; where the option is only between two tyrannies, differing in their outward form one- headed tyrant here— a many- headed tyrant there: what can be expected, but indifference and slug- gishness? We cannot conceive any thing, purporting to be a form of civil government, more thoroughly bad, than the constitutional system of Spain. It was an aggregate of every political absurdity. It rejected all distribution and balance of power, and fancied it found freedom in conferring unlimited authority on a single assembly. That assembly, though it sumed the name and character of being the repre- sentative of the people, had, in reality, nothing either of the form or of the essence of representative government : for its members were appointed in a manner which necessarily annihilated ail community of feeling between it and the mass of the people, and reduced government to be a mere affair of caba and intrigue, modified at one time by military vio- lence, or at another, by the temporary omnipotence of licentious rabble. To concentrate all power in a single body, totally exempt from check or control- to absorb the executive in the legislative— to raise the military into a co- ordinate, independent, class, with all the vices both of soldiers and citizens, and without the good habits and qualities of either— to make the judicial authority a mere name, while its substance was transferred either to the Cortes or to military tribunals— to annihilate every guarantee of the property, the personal liberty, and the life of individuals— except, forsooth, what was to be found in the immutable, never- failing justice, moderation and humanity of philosophers who could do anything but talk sense, and officers who could do any thing but fight ;— these were the grand characteristics of the much- vaunted constitution of Spain. It was a system which could not possibly endure; it con- . . -!...-. .1 If flw\ Oiw. lL. Min^ nnKinn I. IMT/\ I 11 Upon no occasion for many years past has the Western road exhibited such a train of vehicles as Tuesday. The morning was gay and inviting, and the cavalcade was splendid in the extreme. Brent- ford was completely blocked up, and the Small- berry- green toll collector kept hundreds of vehicles upon ihe stoppage. At Hounslow it was impos- sible to get a bait for a hungry horse. At 12 o'clock the rain poured in torrents, and many elegant parties declined pursuing their route far. ther. Anxiety and hope were on the stretch as io the time the review would begin; at length the Great Captain passed through Hounslow, and this was the signal for a general start. The silks, plumes, and satins of the ladies in open carriages were spoiled. Officers in uniform not immedi ately attached to the review rode and remained on the spot uncloaked, and the anticipation of better weather, and the sight in view, left but few behind. At one o'clock his Royal Highness the Duke of York, as Commander- in- Chief, rode in front of the line which had been formed mor than two hours. His Royal Highness was ac- companied by the Dukes of Cumberland and Wellington, and a numerous retinue of General Officers. The regiments inspected were formed thus :— On the right, Artillery; next, First Life Guards; 3. Horse Guards Blue 5 4. Seventh Light Hussars; 5 Third Light Dragoons ; Fifteenth Light Dragoons. Soon after the arrival of the Great Commander in front of the lines, the royal sahvte having been fired, the review com- menced as follows :— The Duke of York, on his right Lord Edward Somerset, on his left his Grace the Duke of Wellington, inspected the line, which had a most imposing appearauce. At the close of the inspection the Commander- in- Chief, the Duke of Wellington, Lord E. Somerset, the Duke of Cumberland, the Prince of Salms, and a numer- ous retinue of General Officers, took their station in front of the line, opposite the landau of the Marquis of Anglesey, occupied by the ladies Paget and other members of the family. The troops then passed the Generals in division, and afterwards in single file, the commanders of each joining the Commander- in- Chief after heading their regiments in review order. At this time the rain poured down n torrents, but the officers remained uncloaked. The Duke of Wellington was loudly cheered on headinghis regiment ( the Blues).,- The ladies were enclosed in their vehicles, and the officers were drenched with rain, so that the splendour of the spectacle was iu a great degree lost. Lord Somerset gave the command, and the tactics were most scientific. A sham fight then com- menced, and the evolutions lasted without in termission, notwithstanding the heavy rain, till past four o' lock. In a supposed charge of an enemy towards the assemblage of persons present, a delightful spectacle was presented. The next attack was by the light brigade, under the com- mand of Lord C. Manners upon the enemy ( the Blues and the Guards), who received them retiring by squadrons alternately, and skirmishing. The best part of the attack, and that was most masterly managed, was that of the light brigade upon sup- posed infantry, supported by artillery and cuiras- siers. The review closed with the whole deploying into line, when a general salute was fired, and 4 God save the King' was played. The different bands played as the regiment passed in file. The Cavalry reviewed on Tuesday consisted of twenty- one squadrons— 16 field officers, 31 cap- tains, 64 subalterns, 19 staff, 134 corporals of horse and serjeants, 52 trumpeters, 20 farriers, 1,210 rank and file, 1,416 troop horses. The Royal Artillery, commanded by Lieut.- Col. Sir Augustus Frazer, consisted of 8 pieces of ordnance, 9 officers, 15 non- commissioned, 90 men, and 118 horses. Quito. From 6000 to 9000 feet in elevation, the climate is best suited to the production of all kinds of European grain. Within these limits, too, are to be found the oak, and various other species of forest trees ; but beyond the height of 9000 feet large trees of all kinds begin to disappear, except dwarf pines, which are found nearly 13,000 feet above the level of the sea, and about 2000 feet below the lower limit of perpetual snow.

It- was all rottenness and imperfection. " From the sole of the foot even unto the head, there was no soundness in it, hut wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores." Is it' wonderful j then, that the sequel should be as described by the prophet:— 44 Your country is desolate ; your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers." Even if the Spanish constitution had been in itself abstractedly and intrinsically good, it was, neverthe- less, relatively bad; because it was not suited to, nor in harmony with, nor influenced by the spirit and prejudices of the people. Take one example of this important truth. The confiscation of church property, and the persecution of ecclesiastics was the first, the favourite measure of the constitutional- SOUTH AMERICA. [ From. Carey and Lea's Geography GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 44 The New World is scarcely more distinguished from the other regions of the globe by its position and magnitude, than by the majesty of its physical features. Its vast mountains, which rear their stu- pendous bulks above the clouds— its wide- stretching plateaux— its almost immeasurable savannas, and its mighty rivers, which roil their immense floods across these spacious plains, are all distinguishing traits of the Western world. Placed amidst the summits of the Andes, the adventurous traveller seems as i; surrounded with the fragments of a world destroyed or with the materials out of which another might be constructed. There 4 Desolation seems at perpetual strife with Nature for the mastery, and vegetation lives as if in defiance of sterility.' This magnificent and awfully impressive scenery of the central Andes, however, differs in several respects from that o' other Alpine regions in higher latitudes. It deficient in some of those features which not only augment its beauty and subliniity, but add majesty to horror. Glaciers, which, amidst the Alpine dis- tricts of Europe, frequently resemble a tumultuous sea suddenly congealed by the power of frost, as well as the terrible avalanches, which prove destructive in these latitudes, are unknown in the torrid zone. But these mountains are noted for their immense chasms aud cataracts. The formation of the Andes is likewise different from that of the Alps of Europe. One of the most singular circuni stances in this respect is the enormous thickness and height of what Geologists call the secondary formations. Baron Humboldt asserts that beds of coal have been found in the neighbourhood of Santa Fe, at an elevation of 8650 feet above the level Of the sea ; and even at the height of 14,700 feet, near A more convincing external proof of the verity. of 44 our most holy faith" cannot be presented to the reasonable mind than the STATE OF THE JEWS, from the period of the crucifixion of our Saviour to the present time. They have been a standing miracle for nearly eighteen centuries ; a visible and palpable evidence to every intermediate age, that the prophe- cies delivered of them, as far as their degradation is concerned, have been completely fulfilled ;_ and that the imprecation on themselves and their posterity, when they were crying for the execution of theii Messiah ( 44 his blood be on us and on our children"), 44 entered into the ear of the Lord of Hosts," and brought down on the unhappy race its appropriate retribution. From the hour of their crime they have been experiencing its punishment; exhibiting living* and never- failing comment on the predictions of their Psalmist,* that 44 others should take their office;" that44 their children should be vagabonds that44 the extortioner should consume all they had that46 strangers should spoil their labour;" and that 44 their back should ever be bowed down ;" and affording such an illustrious testimony of the authen- ticity of the scriptures, as, one might reasonably hope, would silence the most ingenious scepticism, and proselyte the most hardened infidelity. Their annals, like the roll of the prophet, are " written within aud without," 44 with lamentations, and mourning, and woe ;" the melancholy catalogue of the captivities, banishments, exactions, torturings, and massacres, of a people, once the peculiar care of Heaven, and the depository of44 the oracles of God." Mingling with every nation under the canopy of Ihe sky, they have amalgamated with none. But, though with little iu common, either in faith, or in character, or in manner, or in language, or even in aspect, with those among whom they have dwelt; without a ruler, without a polity, without a country, they bave still been maintained as an existing, though a separate people ; neither obliterated from the face of society by the oppressions of seventeen hundred years ; nor absorbed, nor melted down, into any peculiar community by their constant admixture with the different races of mankind. It is equally a subject of solemn reflection, also, that, unlike any other nation, they bave found enemies at all times, and in every quarter, from the professors of all ligions, and under every state of human manners, ' o them alone, amid the strange vicissitudes of the ingdoms of the earth, no renovation of their com- mon- weal has occurred, 110 sympathy has been extended, no 44 right hand of fellowship" held out; but Pagan, Mahommedan, and Christian, the dege- nerated Roman, the voluptuous Byzantine, and the northern barbarian, have in this solitary instance acted in unison, and alike considered and treated the deserted 44 House of Israel" as 44 an off- scouring and refuse in the midst of the people ;" i~ thus unwil lingly fulfilling the divine decree, and holding out to mankind a token to their senses, their reason, or their faith, that 44 there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord bath spoken.";]; The effort of the united philanthropy and genius n the late Mr. Cumberland, to rescue the character > f 44 the Jew" from odium and obloquy, and to raise it to its fair rank in society, will not be forgotten in that day, when the Divine Author of charity shall 44 make up his jewels;" nor can the zealous endea- vours of those who are now devoting time, and ulent, and money to the removal of the veil from the house of Israel, miss of their appropriate reward. How far, indeed, the mode adopted for the attainment of this desirable result may be consistent with calm views of the nature of man, the operations of Provi- dence, and the intimations of scripture, is a different question ; but the feeling which has suggested, and is operating it, must be regarded as laudable, respect- able, and holy. To us it appears, that as it has pleased God to carry on his dealings with mankind by natural means ever since the period when he ceased to establish his will by miraculous ones, so the con- version of the Jews to the faith of the Gospel will be a progressive work, effected by the like ordinary operations of Providence; by the confidence which is now established between those who were formerly the oppressors and the oppressed ; by the increasing- kindly feelings of them k4 who name the name of Christ" to the followers of 44 Moses and the Pro- phets ;" by the reasonableness of the christian system evincing itself to minds becoming every day freer from prejudice, and better qualified to appre- ciate the evidences of our faith ; and, above all, by that gradual growth in piety, virtue, and charity, which, we may fairly hope, is exemplifying itself in the Christian world, and which will be the best external proof, to those who are not of our fold, of the divinity of our creed, as well as of our own sincerity in the profession of it. These ordinary, quiet, and persuasive means ( aided by the blessing of heaven, which is ever showered down upon all that is benevolent and good) we may well conceive ( without indulging any enthusiastic speculations on the subject), will, in God's good time, bring about that sublime consummation of the divine dispensations here below, foretold and promised by the word of eternal truth : when the gathering of the * We are fully justified, we apprehend, in con- sidering the 109th Psalm, and others of a similar description, as prophetical rather than execratory. f Lament, of Jeremiah iii. 45.— J 2 Kings x. 10, accosted by some fellows whose appearance excited alarm, and who began to whistle, hi oider, as it soon appeared, to collect their confederates who awaited this signal, concealed in the heath, to join them. A great number soon assembled, some having fire- arms, which, to intimidate the carmen, they discharged. They then proceeded to knock the ends out of the barrels, and continued the work of destruction till they had spilt four loads of the porter, and destroyed the vessels which contained it 3 the fifth load, being informed that it belonged to a Ronian Catholic in Feeney, they did not in jure. The horses and carts too escaped, being the property of those who drove them. This outrage is supposed to have been connected with the Maghera affray. By some means or other, Mr Clarke, though the most inoffensive man living, and one of the gentlemeu who endeavoured to sup press the fatal riot referred to, has become ob- noxious to the Ribbonmen.— Derry Journal. LAWLESS COURT.— This singular Court is held on King's- hill, at Rochford, in Essex, every Wed nesday morning, next after Michaelmas day, at Cock- crowing, at which Court they whisper, and have no candle, nor any pen and ink, but a coal to record their minutes. He that owes suit or service there forfeits double his rent every hour he is missing. This Court is called Lawless, because held at an unlawful hour; or perhaps quia dicta sine lege— because opened without any form. It is mentioned hy Camden, who says this servile attendance was imposed on the tenants ( by the Lord of the Manor) for conspiring at the like unseasonable time to raise a commotion; but de- tecting it, he ordained that the conspirators, as a punishment, should for ever assemble on the same spot where they met, and do homage for then- lands. FATAL CONSEQUENCE OF DRUNKENNESS.— On Thursday last an inquest was held on the body of Septimus Walker, a recruit in the artillery ser- vice of the Hon. East India Company. On Sunday, the 15th ult. the deceased went with other re- cruits in a steam- packet from Liverpool to Ruucorn, on the way lo Chatham, and they were all in a state of inebriety. On the passage they were served with more liquor, and a young man of the name of Edward Simner offered the deceased a glass of rum, to take part of it, when he drank it all, which in- censed Simner, and blows followed ; but the packet- men interposed. They landed at Runcorn, and passing through the Church yard the deceased lay down, a few feet from a grave about six feet deep, newly opened to receive a corpse when the Church service was over. Simner took the deceased by the leg and arm, carried him to the grave, and threw him in A crowd immediately collected, and he was pulled out, but could not stand; and being unable to proceed, the sergeant sent him back hy a packet to Liverpool, where he died on the 24th ult. from injury of the spine, and bruises.— Verdict, manslaughter. At. a Petty Session of the Magistrates acting for the. divison of Bathforum, on Friday, Ann Harris, of Hanham, a higgler of fruit and vegetables, was committed to Shepton- Mallet goal for two months, for44 ringing the changesThis offence consists in the higglers taking good silver from the persons to whom they sell their commodities, and returning bad silver in lieu thereof; which they persist and even swear to be the same they received of their customers ! The practice prevails to an incredible extent, in consequence of its not being considered by the law as a complete uttering of base coin, unless more be found upon the cheats at that time, which they carefully avoid; however, the offence is punishable, under the Vagrant Act, which inflicts three months' imprisonment for 44 palmistry, or other subtle craft, whereby the ignorant or unwary are defrauded." A MISER.— On Tuesday last, died, at Torpoint, John Hill, formerly a labourer in the Dock- yard at Plymouth, and superannuated on £ 10 per ann. In penurious habits he rivalled the notorious Daniel Dancer, his miserable appearance exciting the charitable feelings of the benevolent, and causing them to contribute to his relief. He literally denied himself the necessaries to sustain life, and has been seen walking for half an hour before a baker's shop, alternately looking at his money, which he loved better than himself, and then wishfully at the objects of his craving appetite. In his apartment were found 73 guineas, 20 half- guineas, and 106 sovereigns, curiously tied up in rags, three receipts for £ 200 in the Plymouth Bank, and a Bank Stock receipt for £ 400. He has left a will in which he desires to be buried at Stephen's, to which parish he has given five guineas, and the like sum to Saltash, to be dis- tributed in bread to the poor. The greater part of his property is left to one Edward Trenecke. BUXTON,— On the 2d instant, a tremendous flash of lightning struck two milch cows, and a valuable draught mare, belonging to Mr. John Wain, of Booth, near Buxton, which killed the cows instantly, without any external marks upon them. The mare still remains alive, but has wholly lost the use of her hind quarters from the violent shock. A lady of the most engaging appearance, newly entered into her seventeenth year, the daughter of a respectable fcuar in the neighbourhood of Brechin, lately attracted the attention of two amorous gentlemen, the one a bachelor of seventy, and the other a widower considerably above that age, both very 44 forbidding men," but very wealthy. With kind words and liberal presents they completely succeeded for a time in dividing the young lady's affections, and many an angry look and bitter word was exchanged by the. hoary rivals during the contest.— rFortune at last seemed to favour the bachelor— he obtained the lady's consent, and went home to 44 set his house in order" for her reception. But 44 delay3 are dan gerous." The widower, who had every thing in readiness, succeeded during these preparations in altering the mind of the 44 betrothed maiden," and carried her to the 44 altar of Hymen" on the evening of Monday se'nnight. A gentleman of Brompton has transcribed the Lord's Prayer, every letter perfect, within the cir- cumference of a common- sized pea 1 ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD 44 ABSTEMIOUS." — An abstemious person is one who refrains abso- lutely from the use of wine. Abs, from, and temetum, wine, is its derivation ; and in EcclesU astical History, abstemii was the term applied to persons who could not partake of the cup of the' Eucharist, on account of their natural aversion to wine. Important to Stage- Coach Proprietors.—> Several convictions have lately taken place afc Worship- street, against the owners of Stage- Coaches, under 25 Geo. III. c. 51, sec. 52, which- equires the name of the place to and from which; the coach is going to be marked or painted on the pannel of the door. Friday, Mr. Sykes, Solicitor to the Stamp- Office, appeared at Worship- street, and stated that informers had no power to recover under that section, the power to enforce the Act being specially lodged with Government. The convictions before the Magistrate were in conse- quence declared void. Mr. Sykes further intimated, that the Commissioners wished no proceedings against the stage- coach owners under the 25th of Geo. 3, the necessity of which was superseded by the late Act providing numbers. On Wednesday last a clothier at Frome was fined by the Magistrates of the division, Twenty Pounds, for paying a workman in truck, or goods, instead of cash, for his wages. Notwithstanding the exertions made in England to prevent the emigration of artisans, it continues to a great extent. At the iron- works at Charentou, in France, which are under the superintendence of Englishmen, there are already nearly 300 English artisans employed, and it is announced that 100 more are expected on the river side. At about half a mile from Paris there are also new iron- works, also conducted by Englishmen, which, when complete, will be very extensive, and give employment to upwards of 150 workmen. It is a great pity that a stop cannot be put to this prac- tice, for ironworks are being established in all parts of France, and one- third more amount of wages is offered to English workmen than they can'Obtain in their own country. There is also an English steam- engine manufactory in Paris, which is thriving.— Museum. Monday week, a young man of about 19 years of age went down into a well at What croft Hall Farm, Cheshire, for the purpose of cleaning it out, but was no sooner do^ n than the carbonic acid gas which had accumulated at the bottom stopped his respiration. In the agony of death he shrieked out, upon which a bricklayer then employed upon the premises hastened down to his assistance, and met with the same fate. They were both brought up lifeless. It is much to be lamented that fre- quently as fatal accidents have occurred from similar causes, and not « ithstanding all the pub- licity which has been given to them, persons will still be so incautious as to descend without first ascertaining whether it is safe or not. Previous to entering into a well a lighted candle or torch of brown paper, or any thing bearing a flame, should be lowered; if the flame go out on approaching the bottom, so will animal life— it is not safe to descend ;— if the flame continue to burn at or near the surface of the water, you may go down safely. The number of steam vessels employed on the rivers Of the United States of America in the year 1822, were 35, the average amount of whose tonnage was 7,259 tons, two of which ( the Wash- ington and Ohio) each exeeeded 400 Ions, and there were 110 less than 30 more then building, the tonnage of which amounted to 5,995 tons, one of them being 700 tons burden. The Mount- stone, of and from Plymouth, was lost on an iceberg, on her passage to Newfoundland, on 6th May. The master and crew, with her passengers, in all ten persons, took to the boat without provisions; from whence three only of the number were taken by a passing ship, on 14th May, the remainder having died from hunger! When the account left, only one of these was living. Mr. Hodge, owner of the vessel, was among the suf- ferers. Saturday afternoon, in the Court of King's Bench, an action was brought by a person named White, engaged in the Spanish and Portuguese trade, against the Morning Chronicle, for a libel con- tained in that paper some weeks since. The libel was, that Mr. Wrhite had made use of a quantity of base coin, manufactured at Birmingham, for the purchase of goods in the Brazils.-^- Mr. Scarlett and Mr. Pollock were for the plaintiff, and the Solicitor- General for the defendant. A proposition was made to refer the case, but it was refused by the Counsel for the plaintiff.— The jury, after deliberating a short time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff— damages £ 300. Shocking Circumstance.— As Lord Glaston- bury's game keeper, at Botley, was going his rounds at 3 o'clock in the morning, he met a poacher, whom, having repeatedly Cautioned before, he endeavoured to seize ; the fellow got away, and when a few yards distant, fired at the keeper, and wounded him in the side. The keeper again attempted to secure the man, but he escaped, and re- loading his gun with a broken flint and the brass top of his ramrod, he again discharged it at his assailant, and wounded him in the face. The keeper has entirely lost one eye, and lies in a very precarious state. The poacher was taken at Halla- trow. Curious Wager.— On Friday week, a man undertook to carry 13 sieve baskets, piled one upon another on his head, from Dean street, West- minster, to Perry's potatoe- warehouse, Covent Garden. The wager was for a sovereign ; he was to walk through the public streets, and to arrive at the place named with 11 ou his head, without resting. He walked with great caution, sometimes in the carriage road, sometimes on the pavement, followed by numbers of people, who at once en- circled and cleared the way for him. His greatest difficulty was to avoid the lamp irons when on the pavement, as the upper sieve, which poised the whole, had a continual inclination to the right. He gained the middle of Southampton street, with-, out losing one sieve, having passed coaches and carts of all descriptions, when the upper sieve fell to the ground. He halted, and poised the sieves, with which he proceeded lull into the market, where he cast the whole down, amid the cheers of the populace. Though the weight must have been considerable, the poising the sieves was the greatest difficulty he had to encounter, as they reached the second floor windows. He won his wager, and many gentlemen were highly delighted with the novelty of the scene, and subscribed to reward his ingenuity and perseverance. The mephitic vapour produced by throwing a handful of flour of sulphur on the burning coals, where a chimney is on fire, will immediately ex- tinguish the flames, 011 the same principle as it would suffocate any living creature. MAGNETISM.— It is recorded, and generally believed by Mahommedans, that the tomb of their Prophet is supported in the air, at Mecca, by the action of equal and potent load stones. The pos- sibility of such an occurrence has been justly ridi- culed as false and fabulous. Notwithstanding, it appears from the Leeds Independent, that it is practicable to suspend a person by these means. Mr. Abraham, a lecturer on this subject, by way of illustration, suspended by means of an artificial magnet a young gentleman, who, with the appa- ratus, weighed upwards of seven stone.
